I. INTRODUCTION
The Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) system is
highly nonlinear, exothermic, irreversible first order process.
In CSTR, when the reactants are added into the tank the stirrer
will stir the reactants to give desired product. Once the
equipment is running, it is usually operated at steady state and
designed to achieve well mixing. The CSTR also known as
back mix reactor is commonly used as perfect reactor type in
chemical engineering. A CSTR is a model which is used to
estimate individual operation variables while using a
continuous agitated tank reactor in order to obtain the required
output. CSTR is widely used in the organic chemicals industry
for medium and large scale production. The reactor is widely
operated by three control loops that will regulate the outlet
temperature and the inlet flow rate of the reactant tank level.
During the process the heat will be generated and hence the
heat of reaction can be removed by a coolant medium that
flows through a jacket around the reactor. During the CSTR
process the faults occur which further leads to inaccurate
result. A fault is defined as an unexpected change of the
system functionality which may be related to a failure in a
physical component such as sensor and actuator. In order to
detect various types of faults in CSTR the Neural Network
Predictive Controller can be applied.
